Boom. The 2017 Ford Raptor has landed.

[GetOutThere]

Twin Turbo V6 making more power than the V8 (411 HP, 434 ft. lb.).
Ten speed transmission.
New frame.
Lighter.
Beefier shocks.
New Torsen dif in the front. Likely an LSD, since the locker in the rear on the Raptor was a ford E-Locker, no?

She looks good, but still not as good as the Atlas, which was in my opinion the best looking modern truck ever shown.

Wow, pretty damn sexy. I wonder how much MSRP will be.

Any word on the Atlas being released?

 

[98dango]

Yep still won't own a new ford.

Unfortunately the last I heard was that the Atlas was the concept for the 2015 F-150, which has released and sadly looks nothing like the Atlas.

10 speed huh.

I wonder when we'll hit our limit on gear ratios in an auto. It seems like it would be constantly shifting. With that said, we have an 14' Audi with an 8 speed and it performs great so who knows.

I just want to see how all these turbo V6's hold up after 200k miles.

I think most buyers get bored and trade them in before 200K.

Only cheap dirt bags like me hang on to vehicles for 200-300K. All-N-All..vehicles are a waste of money, rather invest it somewhere else.

New Raptor is cool looking though.

 

[Littlehouse]

New transfercase as well...possibly AWD?

2013 and 2014 Raptors already had the front LSD. All years have the e-locker in the rear.

I like the looks of that rear bumper, with the dove-tail look and higher exhaust. Not a fan of the front and rear FORD stamp though, looks a bit too Toyota-like.

True. I was talking more from a work truck stand point. We buy our shop trucks new and put 200-300k on them in 5 yrs or so then swap them out. I guess we'll have to stick with the base NA V6 or V8 while they are still available.

I do like the way the new F150 look a lot. Maybe my next truck if I choose to step down from a 3/4 ton.

Holy crap 10 speed Huh? Is this the new cool thing now? I'm waiting out for a 20 speed.

LOVE it! And the photoshopped pic in front of Mt Whitney!

 

[libarata]

Can it carry more than a few hundred pounds?

 

[hidesertwheelin]

Did the frame bend when it landed?

 

[FordGuy1]

All I can say is buy an extended warranty!!

 

[toylandcruiser]

But, but f150 frames are boxed and super rigid. Aren't they the strongest in the world?
